Ancient Structure Unearthed Preceding Homo Sapiens

Archaeologists have discovered the oldest wood structure ever found, dating back 476,000 years, at Kalambo Falls in Zambia. The structure, made by an unknown species of hominins predating Homo sapiens, consisted of two interlocking logs joined by a cut notch. Additionally, four wooden tools were found at the site. The discovery challenges previous assumptions about early human capabilities and suggests that these hominins may have lived in the area for an extended period of time. The finding provides valuable insights into human evolution and may contribute to Kalambo Falls becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
